Grace R.

*** Profile is currently hidden - should not show up in search results. Not available for jobs currently - 6/2021 I enjoy taking care of people. I helped to take care of my grandmother and parents as they got older, have a lot of experience taking care of children, and helping older adults seemed natural. I have done cooking, cleaning, taking care of pets, helping with personal care, taking walks with them, helping with light transfers, and being a companion. Talking with older adults about their interests and lives is interesting, and I enjoy discussing books, recipes, music, and travel/places. When I am working as a caregiver, I try to pay attention to the details, including what the client likes and how they like it done, so that I can do the same thing in the future. I am registered on the California Home Care Aide Registry. Reference letters and a certificate from an agency can be shown to you (at an interview). I am looking for a care giving job where the older adult needs help because he/she is alone, and where the family will sign a confidentiality agreement. I do not do lifting (or transferring where the older adult's full weight needs to be supported). Letters of reference can be shown to you (at an interview). I am also looking for a nonsmoking household. If hired through the CareLinx website, payments will need to be made through the website.

I think it all started when I took care of my grandmother up until she died.She gave me insights on what it is when you are on the sunset of your life and how it makes a difference for them when we engage them in a very nice conversation, it takes away a lot of loneliness from them.This has been my guiding light in my years as a caregiver that by engaging the seniors in a nice conversation and making sure they are happy and comfortable that would then create a domino effect on everything from their mood swings and eventually to a better health condition.
